AWS has made the 3000 Rice Genome data freely available on Amazon S3 so that anyone can use our on-demand computing resources to perform analysis and create new products without needing to worry about the cost of storing the data or the time required to download it.

The 3,000 Rice Genome on AWS data set makes available the reference alignments and variant calls available in sorted and indexed BAM files and indexed VCF files, respectively.

The data are organized using a simple directory structure based on the reference genome and source sample.For example, given the source sample IRIS_313–15896 analyzed against the 93–11 reference genome, you would find these associated BAM and VCF files in the following locations:

Educators, researchers and students can also apply for free credits to take advantage of the utility computing platform offered by AWS, along with Public Datasets such as 3000 Rice Genome on AWS. If you have a research project that could take advantage of 3000 Rice Genome data on AWS, you can apply for AWS Cloud Credits for Research.
